@positivebacteriaculture2 ай бұрын
@@JPblasc ah thats why I didnt see it. I'm finding a lot of new inspiration, its defently a new sound. It has its limitations but I actually like that a lot, I'm not a big fan of most of the presets and the only thing I'm missing is a paraphonic feature being able two take to notes at a time (I think you can do that by midi but I havn't looked into that yet) that would of sounded so cool. But except for that It so nice just to sit down with a blank patch and just start from scratch, easy to experiment with different modulations and I'm jamming more than ever. It also very easy to make it fit in a mix, it can be in the background, a looping arpeggiator (I'm using the microfreak as a sequenser right now wich is a great mix), a base track or as a lead. Combining it with the matriarch I really like to have the Matriarch doing the cleaner high pich, chords or the lead sounds and the voyager being base. For now my studio outgrew itself and I have a problem getting everything in sync so I havn't really built any big jams worth spending time to record a video for youtube. Planning on getting a big midi-through thingy box and use the deluge as a base for building new songs. But I have some other expences to take care of before that. I have also been working on some new projects in the DAW that I wanted to spend some time on and finish up and I'm also waiting for a new phone with great camera (pixel 9) to record next video. I hope it will up the picture game a bit. And as you said, I wanna do the Voyager justice so I'm just waiting for the right moment to record. A lot of stress in my day to day at the moment so I dont wanna push it. Right now a lot of practising, experimenting with different tools in my setup. Also my 2 year old like it a lot so I'm gald that is of good build quality 😂

@@JPblasc Yeah.. for me it took me around 33-34 years before building my own studio. Getting a Moog Voyager is my dream coming true. But for him all this will be a normal thing in a home.

@@positivebacteriaculture Thanks! My setup is forever changing and I am very happy with it. The model D and voyager have very different characters. Model d sounds very organic and raw, while the voyager is a bit more "digital". I like the model d more, it has very big analogue knobs, the voyager are digitally controlled I think. Also the model D can get really loud and crunchy.

Could you help me understand how you connected the matriarch to the starlab and where the output of the starlab is routed to? I’m trying to figure out mine and euro rack with no experience!
@JPblasc5 ай бұрын
Sure. The Matriarch has teo eurorack level audio out jacks at the back (L and R channels), these are patched to the L and R inputs of the starlab. The starlab's L and R audio outputs are connected to and Erica Synths Output module (just below the starlab), which acts as a mixer with other audio signals and. The outuput module has two 1/4" audio outputs, which are connected to a tascam recorder. I hope this helps!

The 100 series is by far the best investment I’ve ever made, have a Strega but nothing else in that series, I have a chaos, sounds as good as the $500 morpheagene, have the Ensemble and Zoia, between the two handles polyphony just fine. It’s a great way to test something new without buying the series. The Strega is an excellent noise oscillator with the 100 next, the 115! Best deal for the money!and they both sound fantastic!
